Team CROI - VHI Women's Mini Marathon

The VHI Women's Mini Marathon takes place on June 04th 2023, an enjoyable 10km event for women to walk, jog, or run together and achieve their own personal goals.

Our mission at Croí is to ensure that people stay healthy and that reoccurrences are prevented through both in-person and virtual programmes that allow specialists and resources to be easily accessible to the community.

With your help, we bring families and communities together to learn, exercise, grow and make simple lifestyle changes that promote recovery and can prevent 80% of cardiovascular disease! The friendship and accountability created through Croí help create healthier communities — not just physically, but mentally as well!

Recognising the important role family and loved-ones play in a patient’s recovery, we’re proud to offer the ‘Courtyard Apartments’ at Croí house – three self-contained ground floor accommodation units, located just a ten-minute walk from Galway University Hospital. The apartments have been specifically designed for short-term stays, allowing family members to be as close as possible to patients who are receiving heart or stroke care at the hospital.

But our lifesaving services, classes, webinars and resources are very costly to maintain and grow. It’s only thanks to our wonderful supporters that we are able to offer many of them free of charge to anyone who needs them.
